About

BDFS Capital LLC provides portfolio management and financial planning to a mix of individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), charitable organizations, qualified retirement plans, corporations, and trusts. The firm prepares an Investment Policy Statement for each client and offers ongoing account monitoring, financial plans, and the option to be directed to third‑party advisers.

The firm employs multiple methods of analysis — including cyclical, fundamental, modern portfolio theory, quantitative, and technical analysis — and uses both long‑term and short‑term trading approaches while documenting client risk tolerance and seeking fair allocation of opportunities across accounts. BDFS also acts as portfolio manager and is the sponsor of a wrap fee program (described in a separate wrap brochure) and, in some cases, directs clients to third‑party platforms such as Betterment.

A distinguishing feature is that BDFS sponsors a wrap fee program, a structure relatively uncommon among similar team firms. The firm’s advisers also maintain broker‑dealer registration and insurance licenses and BDFS discloses fee‑sharing arrangements with third‑party advisers; additionally, the firm’s stated investment universe includes a wide range of alternatives — private equity, venture capital, private placements, commodities, precious metal ETFs and real estate funds — which is broader than typical for many peers.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
